The First Domesticated Lizard Species

What is a Leopard Gecko?

The leopard gecko or common leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is a popular beginner's reptile because it's easy to handle and requires minimal care compared to many other lizards. Native to Afghanistan, Pakistan, northwest India, and Iran, leopard geckos have perky personalities and make movements that are interesting to watch.
They are commonly yellow, white, and spotted with black dots where hatchlings are striped and gradually change to the spotted appearance. There are several colorful and patterned morphs or variations.
